The Lord's Blessing on the People

The Lord's blessing on the people. This is the point for why Israel exists as a nation, why they're structured around the tabernacle and why they're called to be pure with God living in their midst. The way that we do that now is by baptism. And I think that these two statements in 3, 12 and 13, and then in 8, you know, 17 and 18, we have an inclusio or a bracket around the intervening material. We can almost feel like, Oh, I'm thankful I got here and I don't have to read all this other stuff and numbers anymore. Like I'm just going to focus on this.
